Post Your Build Ideas
Launch

Launch from your AI assistant

A free MCP server lets Claude, Cursor, VS Code or any assistant that speaks MCP create your launch for you. No account, no API key, no cost. You still confirm one email and press Publish yourself.

Add it to your assistant

Server address (Streamable HTTP, no authentication)
https://postyourbuildideas.com/mcp

Claude Code

Run in your terminal
claude mcp add --transport http postyourbuildideas https://postyourbuildideas.com/mcp

Claude on the web and in the desktop app

Open Settings, then Connectors, choose Add custom connector and paste the server address above. No sign-in is needed.

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json (or your global ~/.cursor/mcp.json)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postyourbuildideas": {
      "url": "https://postyourbuildideas.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to .vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "postyourbuildideas": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://postyourbuildideas.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Any other assistant

Add a remote MCP server of type Streamable HTTP with the address above. If your assistant can only start local programs, bridge it with mcp-remote:

stdio-only clients (for example older Claude Desktop setups)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postyourbuildideas": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://postyourbuildideas.com/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Then just ask

For example
Launch my product on Post Your Build Ideas: https://example.com. It is an invoicing tool for freelancers and it is free to use. My name is Alex and my email is alex@example.com.

The assistant asks you for what it is missing, above all your email address, which is always required. It never needs a password.

How publishing works

  1. The assistant creates a draftIt sends your product’s details to the server. A draft is private: nothing is public yet.
  2. We email you one linkIt goes to your inbox only. The assistant never sees it and cannot publish for you.
  3. You preview and press PublishThe draft is deleted after 24 hours if you do not. A published launch is final; changes go through support@postyourbuildideas.com.

What the assistant can do

  • create_launch makes the draft: name, link, tagline, description, 1 to 3 categories, pricing, your public name and your email. Optionally a logo, up to 4 screenshots (it gives us public https addresses, we download and re-host them), tags, tools you built it with, a demo video and a promo code.
  • list_categories lists the launch categories it can choose from.
  • get_launch_status says whether your draft went live.
  • get_badge returns the “Featured on Post Your Build Ideas” badge, with an instruction your assistant can follow to add it to your site. A site that carries it earns the Verified check.

The same rules as the form

A launch from an assistant goes through exactly the same checks as one from the launch form: the rules, the spam screen, three launches an hour per network address, five a day per email address, and the same site cannot launch twice within seven days. The weekly digest stays off unless you ask for it. Your email is used to send the confirmation link and is never shown on the site.

For developers

The endpoint is https://postyourbuildideas.com/mcp. It speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP, statelessly: one JSON-RPC message per POST, JSON answers, no sessions, no authentication, CORS open to any origin. It supports protocol version 2026-07-28 (per-request metadata and server/discover) and 2025-11-25, 2025-06-18, 2025-03-26 (the initialize handshake). A tool that fails because of what you sent answers normally with isError: true and a message the model can act on.
